Building Your Blog

There are several things that you can add to your blog to make it cute to help build your brand as a teacher blogger. Blog fixtures not only make it easy for others to share your blog (which will help generate traffic), but it also helps you to "brand" your blog. A consistent and cohesive blog makes it easier to view and it makes it easier for others to recognize material and/or resources from your blog that may be found somewhere else (Pinterest, TPT, Facebook). So what do you add to your blog? Look below there are several links. Hop through the links to learn how to add different widgets, gadgets, codes, pictures, buttons, etc. The best way to figure out what you want on your blog is to visit other blogs and see how they are set up. Also, you can view my post on the anatomy of a blog to learn about the different components that make up a blog. As you learn about the different things you would like to add to your site, use the links below for short tutorials. These are great for "dressing up your blog".

Come check me out!

Hello and welcome! I put this blog together so that I could share links and tips for teachers who are new to blogging. As a teacher blogger, I think being a apart of the teacher blog community is one of the best ways to stay connected and motivated as a teacher. There is a ton of information and resources available. Although I have been doing this a little over a year now, I am still learning! I've developed some pretty basic "tech savvy" skills; however, there are a ton of experienced bloggers who are more than willing to share tips, resources, tutorials and other information. I have compiled those resources right here for you! Enjoy and happy blogging!! If there is any information you would like to have posted on this blog, don't hesitate to contact me @ notsowimpyteacher@gmail.com
